Homely and cozy traditional cooking course. - I would recommend this course to anyone who loves cooking, enjoys good food and enjoys socializing in a homely and hospitable environment. During the course you prepare three courses and a cocktail. We were completely full at the end! Thank you very much, ladies!

I cannot say enough on how wonderful this experience was. The translator Fernando was also great, great conversation and company. The meals were delicious with fresh ingredients. I felt right at home in Mari's home. I highly recommend this class!

Friendly, local, yummy - recommend! - Marisa was a great teacher for cooking Peruvian dishes. We made ceviche, causa, pisco sours and a mango dessert - all of which were delicious. Marisa cooked with us in her own home, which made it a lovely local experience. As our Spanish is lacking, Marisa invited her friend Jinmy as translator, who also took photos. Together we had a joyful evening! Afterwards we were provided with recipes and the photos. Highly recommend!

Fun and authentic experience! - Marisa and Lourdes (the translator) were both very charming and hospitable. We had a fun experience preparing traditional Peruvian dishes and making pisco sours. Lourdes explained/translated all of the instructions and background information, telling us the history of the dishes while we were making them. She emailed us the pictures and recipes, which we look forward to sharing with others when we get home. Communication beforehand was a little tricky. Marisa does not speak English and wanted to send a taxi to pick us up. We were unsure of where we would be at the pickup time and it may have been easier if she had given us an address so we could hire a taxi ourselves to drop us off. Despite any issues beforehand, it was a fun evening and a great way to get to know a little bit about the local culture. We would highly recommend this experience!

Authentic Peruivian cooking experience! - I would definitely recommend this cooking class for anyone who is looking for an authentic and personal experience! We got picked up from our hotel and started with a tour around the food market where we tried some Peruvian fruit. We then went to Marissa's house and started the class. We made Ceviche, Potato dish and Pisco Sours. It was truly delicious!! Thanks for the great lesson Marisa!
